Chapter 115: Master of Luck

Su Xi lay on top of the refrigerator, listening to Ye Chenyu and Lu Zhen discuss the various leaders in Heiyuan City.

Some leaders maintained an attitude of coexistence toward the human side and did not want to initiate aggression. Others were more radical, wanting to wipe out all of humanity to achieve a world entirely of corpse ghosts.

Ye Chenyu was ostensibly a radical and was ruthless in dealing with bases, but in reality, he was secretly a supporter of the human side.

Lu Zhen, however, wanted to completely annihilate humanity; he did not do so out of hatred, but because he had his own beliefs. He insisted that after all people and even all living things were turned into corpse ghosts, the world would undergo a rebirth and evolution!

"The commander of Base 46 has been replaced. Does Master know the information on the new commander?" Ye Chenyu opened the small cabinet next to the refrigerator and took out a bottle containing a dark red liquid, with a label on it—20.

When Lu Zhen saw it, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he licked his lips, "S-rank, Mental Type Spiritual Energy, one of the members of the Round Table Knights."

"Sounds like they won't be easy to deal with." Ye Chenyu unscrewed the cap, and the fresh, bloody scent drifted out.

Lu Zhen took it and immediately drank a mouthful, "Old Gui's target has nothing to do with us; let's wait and see."

"Yes, Master." Ye Chenyu looked at Su Xi, seeing that she was squinting, showing no reaction to the fresh blood.

Er Miao reminded Su Xi, 【Host, you are a Corpse Ghost Cat now; shouldn't you have some thoughts about living blood?】

【A Corpse Ghost Cat is still a cat. Even if I wanted fresh blood, I would only be interested in the blood of my own kind.】 Su Xi stretched, jumped off the refrigerator, and paced toward the door.

Suddenly, the skin on the back of her neck was grabbed again, and she was lifted up.

Su Xi glared at Ye Chenyu and struggled twice.

Ye Chenyu placed her on the sofa, "If you run around again, I'll tie you up with a chain."

Su Xi was speechless; what on earth was this guy trying to do!

Lu Zhen shook the bottle of fresh blood in his hand and laughed, "Heh, cats are nocturnal animals; their nature is extremely arrogant, and they love freedom. If you restrain it like this, it will run away sooner or later."

"Then should I break her legs?" Ye Chenyu looked into Su Xi's eyes.

Su Xi bared her teeth in a show of defiance, her gaze shifting to the fist he had been bitten on earlier, reminding him that his hand had almost been crushed by her just a moment ago.

"No, I'm joking." Ye Chenyu rubbed the hand Su Xi had bitten and said to Lu Zhen, "Master, have you ever met a Daoist? I mean a real Daoist with true cultivation."

Lu Zhen replied, "No, why do you ask?"

"Today, I had the fortune to meet one. Her Daoist name is Huayuan, and she has a Thunder Type Ability; I was nearly unable to withstand it."

"Oh?" Lu Zhen became quite serious.

"Her name is Su Xi, a female Daoist. If you encounter her in the future, Master, you must not take her lightly."

"A female Daoist? If she runs into me, I will definitely turn her into a Ghost Servant and send her to you for your amusement," Lu Zhen replied with great confidence.

Su Xi listened to his arrogant words, flicked her tail, and continued to feign sleep.

"Many thanks, Master." Ye Chenyu was full of anticipation.

Su Xi secretly rolled her eyes again.

After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Lu Zhen left.

Su Xi waited for Ye Chenyu to see Lu Zhen off, then said lazily, "Your master has quite a lot of ambition. Of course, yours will only be greater."

"How do you know I am... great?" Ye Chenyu's tone dropped, suddenly becoming somewhat suggestive.

Su Xi squinted her eyes open and stared at his face, feeling like an earthquake was happening inside her, 【This guy! I want to slaughter him! Daring to use Master's face to say such perverted things!】

【Stay calm, stay calm! He is essentially the negative aspect of Master; Host, just don't think of him as Master.】 Er Miao hurriedly advised.

【If Master knew, he would definitely destroy him with his own hands.】

【True, but if Host doesn't think in that direction, it doesn't seem to be a problem.】

【You! Whose side are you on, anyway?】 Su Xi said, feeling a bit annoyed and embarrassed.

【Hehe~】 Er Miao stopped provoking her and instead said, 【Host, it is better to complete the Box Mission early; intervene less in other people's karma, or be careful of getting entangled and unable to escape. Otherwise, if you stay here too long, I'm afraid someone will come directly to grab you.】

【Mm.】 Su Xi thought of Xiao Yan and stopped letting her mind wander, immediately casting Ye Chenyu aside, 【Can you confirm who the Apocalypse Luck Lord is?】

Mo Ri Chong Qi requires finding the Master of Luck, and her mission is to assist him in completing the world's rebirth.

Yet, ever since she saw Ye Chenyu's face, she couldn't help but follow him.

Unfortunately, he is not the Master of Luck; she can sense something regarding the mission target.

Ye Chenyu held no omens for her.

Er Miao replied, 【There is currently no relevant data regarding the Master of Luck.】

Seeing Su Xi ignoring him, Ye Chenyu stroked her cat head, "Are you angry?"

"……Not worth it." Su Xi jumped off the sofa, "I have things to do, no need to see me out."

"What things?" Ye Chenyu asked.

Su Xi looked up at him, "Perhaps it has to do with you, perhaps it doesn't. When the time comes, you will know."

After saying this mysteriously, she used Teleportation to leave.

Ye Chenyu's expression paused slightly; he wanted to grab her hand, but only grasped at thin air.

He couldn't say why, but the moment he saw her, an unprecedented obsession with exclusive possession arose from his heart. That impulse was something he had never experienced in his life until now.

【Master of Luck... who exactly is it?】 Su Xi turned back into her human form, toying with the lucky dice between her fingers while looking at the gray sky, when suddenly a drop of rain fell, hitting the center of her brow.

The environment around Su Xi changed abruptly.

A young girl stood before a cross in a large cathedral, wearing a nun's cyan dress and robe, her features delicate and her brow full of compassion. And the area around the cathedral was filled with corpse ghosts, like the underworld.

The next instant, the environment returned to normal. The raindrops in the air fell in lines, while a barrier automatically appeared around Su Xi, isolating the rain outside.

【Er Miao, was the omen just now pointing to that girl?】

【To be precise, it should be related to her; perhaps it is her, or perhaps it is the people around her. Host still needs to further confirm.】

【Mm, where is that cathedral?】

【The Bailanmu Cathedral in the Saint Sinuo United Nations, which is also the location of Base 3.】

【Let's go, find that girl.】

【Understood, Host.】

Er Miao sent Su Xi outside the protective wall of the Saint Sinuo United Nations, 【Host, this wall and the airspace above are covered by energy, blocking system transmission.】

Su Xi replied: "Is it the same as the one at Base 24?"

"Yes."

"Then it is perfect to investigate what this energy is right here."

Er Miao was eager to try, "Understood, Host."

Su Xi used Thunder Origin Power to Teleport directly into the high sky, looking down at the Saint Snow United Nations enclosed by protective walls.

Outside the walls was a scene of withered, great destruction, while inside the walls it was the exact opposite; everywhere was shaded by green trees and fresh flowers, with brilliant neon lights and bustling traffic, as if it were a pure land outside the world.

A giant cross hung on the highest spire of Bailanmu Cathedral, emitting a dazzling, eye-catching light, as if guiding souls trapped in distress and giving them the strength to move forward.
